Eloise is finally starting to seem a little better. She still has a limp, but she was at the point where she was just hopping on 3 legs and crying out anytime she moved the wrong way. At least now she is putting some weight on her back leg. It's been so hard to see her hurting like this.
She's going to the vet tonight for her regular annual appointment, so I'm going to talk to them about starting accupuncture treatments, see if that helps. And she has her regular chiropractic holistic appointment on Friday. I feel like I have gone to the vet more since May for her than I've gone to the doctor for myself in the last 10 years!! lol
In the past 2 weeks I've started to think about the possibility of hip replacement surgery. I'm going to try the accupuncture for a few months and see how she does with that. I would love to be one of those success stories that she can get through her life without needing the sugery, but if this kind of limping continues, where she can't run, and can't play, I just feel like that's so sad for her.
I don't know what I'm going to do, I just pray that she continues to improve now. I miss the days when she was so happy go lucky and would jump around and play and run.
